Too often the history of science and technology and the history of education have been written at a remove from each other despite being intimately connected. It is an important aim of this conference to bring these two significant and related areas of historiography into closer dialogue with one another. Papers will examine theoretical, methodological and historiographical aspects of the relationship between science, technologies and education focusing on the interplay of these key themes in specific historical and material settings. The aim of the conference is to look at artefacts and material culture of science, technology and education.
